The Long and Winding Lamar 

Creating the Lamar River in WolfQuest 3 !
As a central feature of Yellowstone’s Northern Range, the Lamar River is an important landmark for wolves, so we’re glad to finally include it in the Amethyst Mountain map. Today’s video looks at how we’re creating the river in Unity, using several new tools for Unity - River Auto Material and Lux Water - as well as good old-fashioned hand-carving. More remains to be done to this riparian stretch of the game map - adding more vegetation, rocks, and driftwood, but it’s coming along, and we think it’ll be an attractive place for an afternoon nap - as long as you can find a peaceful spot away from stranger wolves!
Got questions? Here are some answers!
* Yes, your wolf can drink (but no thirst meter)
* Other animals might get to drink too. But this is not that day.
* NEW! River current!
* No, adult wolves are strong swimmers so they can’t drown.
* No fish. Maybe beavers. Some live in riverbank dens. We’ll see. Otters are the dream.
* Wet fur effects might be added someday.
* The Lamar River might freeze over in deep winter. We hope to add a deep winter map someday!
